In 1974, a pair of idiots invented Dungeons & Dragons, the first role-playing game. 35 years later, a different pair of idiots will polish the twenty-sided dice, sharpen the +1 swords and open a bag of holding full of tales of adventure, danger and laughs.
Those idiots are Richard McKenzie and Ben McKenzie. Richard's previous shows include "Zombies 101, or Why Grandma Had to Die" and "Mint Condition", while Ben is the "Man in the Lab Coat" and one of the brains behind hit Channel 31 show Planet Nerd. After a year working together in the Anarchist Guild Social Committee ('sketch maestros' - Adelaide Advertiser), they've decided to really get their geek on.
Dungeons & Dragons has captured the imaginations of nerds around the globe for 35 years. Now, you too can find out why millions of people enjoy sitting around a table imagining they're elves, wizards or fighters, battling the forces of evil with sword and sorcery. Is it the adventure? The old-fashioned storytelling? The thrill of chance as you roll the dice? Or maybe it's just another excuse to muck about with friend over beer and pizza.
Praise for Richard and Ben's previous shows:
'geekfest love-in' - The Age. 'smart, funny and educational' - The Age. 'I couldn't stop laughing' - 3RRR. 'charming and unique' - Herald Sun.
